select objects first then move them
Might you possibly have an undefined-and-newly-defined Move command that for some reason cancels any existing selection first? Try typing in .move [with the decimal-point prefix] to force it to use the native command, and see whether it works that way.

And if that something else isn't just a refinement on or alteration of how the MOVE command works, but something entirely different, you can tell easily enough by calling for it and going ahead with the object selection it prompts for, and seeing what it then asks of you. If that's not the usual MOVE prompts, then clearly there's a (defun) or PGP entry or some such thing that's determining what M does, overriding AutoCAD's default alias. I would be a little reluctant to just take M_Hensley's suggestion of REDEFINE until you find out what the cause is, because you might thereby lose some functionality in an overlay program, or something. If you do find a cause of a new definition or changed alias assignment, and can eliminate it, then Redefining won't be necessary [except in any drawings you may already have open at the time].
